Gu Chuan, a shy and unbossy CEO, has been raising his 7-year-old daughter Gu Xiaotang alone since his wife passed away. Xiaotang, traumatized by her mother's death, rejects any "stepmom" outright.

Meanwhile, Gu Chuan, watching this girl who "can't even make coffee right but makes his daughter laugh," gradually drops his "CEO" facade and gets used to her presence. However, when Lin finds out Gu's "company bankruptcy" was a lie (he just wanted to test Xiaotang's acceptance), she thinks she's a "test subject" and decides to leave.
